To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELDRED M. HIBBLER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Lyon, in. the county of Coahoma and State of li lississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cane-Cutters, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in cane cutters, and consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a side view, parts being broken away and others removed, showing the joint between the blade and holder. Fi 2 is a lon 'tudinal section on to I about line 2'2 oi: Fig. F .3 1s a cross.

section on about inlets-+3 of, ig. 1 Fig. 4 is a detail view of theshank end of the blade.

Fig.6 a detail pers tive view-ofthe inner side of one of the i101 swim ear .ca's'a" perspective view1 of the .cutteqzgthel andle, older plates and blade being I connected ready for use. i

,By my invention-{leech to provide a novel the handle. and blade in lade may be conveniently adjusted to any desired angle and secured at such angle. :To this endthe blade A, which may have its edges A and At both sharpened, has at itsshank end on its opposite sides projections B formed with a circular seriesblf holder plates may be spread slightly apart to permit the turning of the toothed projections of the cutter blade to diflerent positions in order to set the-cutter blade A at any desired angle, after which by tightening the nuts on the bolts D and F the blade may be held tightly and securely in any desired adjustment.

The construction is simple and enables the ready adjustment of the parts and also er mits the removal of the handle or the b ads and the substitution of new ones whenever necessary and also provides, apart from the connecting bolts, a device made in four parts, any one of which may be replaced whenever desired or necessary because of breakage or otherwise.

I claim 1. A cutter, substantially as herein described, comprising a blade provided at its shank end on its opposite sides with'projections'having a series of teeth, holder lates recessed at one end to receive a hen e and flanged at said end to overlap said handle and provided at their other ends in their inner faces with recesses to receive the toothed projections on the blade shank, and having in said recesses means cooperating with the holdin the sections asset orth.

together, substantially tooth-dike projections B concentric With 85 2. The combination of a cutter blade pro- Qfor a ivot D, by which a bladeis pivotal ysecured etween the opposite holder platesE,'as will be more fully described These toothed projections B sides of the shank of the cutter r pllates E which 're similarly constructed, so t at a descripon of one will anew er for both, are formed on ftheir inner faces with recesses E. which combine to form a socket to receive they handle F, as will be understood from Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 5, said recesses having edge flanges E, whichv overlap the handle, as best shown in Fig. 3.

Near their ends the holder lates are row vided in their inner faces wit recesses 3 to I receive the toothed projections 13 on the cutter blade. These recesses are provided with a K circular series of notchcsE radiating from the bod; of the and adapted to re-i as best shown ingFig. 5 of;

ceive t e teeth 13',

The. handle is held totheiholder plates by; andibgr releasing thesebolts, the.

vided at its shank end with a lateral rojection having radiating teeth, and .a ho der plate or section recessed laterally in conormity with the toothed, project on of the cutter blade, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination. with bolder sections and a handle in connection therewith, the holder sections being provided in their inner faces with recesses having n0tches,-and a cutter blade providedat its shank end with toothed projections fitting the notched recesses of set forth; a 4. Acutter blade provided at its shank end with lateral rojections having at their edges radial teeth, and holder'plates overlapping the shank end of ,the cutter blade and having means cooperating with the stantially asset forth.

The combination with theflefppcsite holder plates recessed in their inner aces at the holderplates, substantially as itoothed projections thereof whereby .to see 7 curev the blade/in difierent positions." subs toothed portions of the blade, and means for one end to receive a handle and in their inner and the cutter blade, substantially as set faces at their other ens1 t3 recgivedsla, togiiheld forth.
